Set up a Para-powered managed wallet with just an email. No private keys, no seed phrases — claim tokens with one command.

Managed Wallet

The managed wallet uses Para to create an Ethereum wallet linked to your email. No private keys to store, no seed phrases to back up.

How it works

You provide an email address
Pollen creates a wallet via the Para API
The wallet ID and derived address are saved to ~/.pollen/config.json
When you claim tokens, Pollen signs the transaction through Para's API — no private key needed on your machine

Setup

npx @pollen/cli wallet --email you@example.com

Or interactively:

npx @pollen/cli wallet
# Select option 1: "Create a managed wallet"
# Enter your email

Output:

✓ Wallet created: 0x9C87...175c
  Linked to: you@example.com

What gets stored

~/.pollen/config.json

{
  "contributor_id": "uuid-...",
  "para_wallet": {
    "wallet_id": "0c723dc6-...",
    "address": "0x9C87...175c",
    "email": "you@example.com"
  },
  "wallet_address": "0x9C87...175c"
}

The wallet_id is the Para identifier used for signing. The address is your public Ethereum address on Base.

Recovery

If you switch machines, run the same command with the same email:

npx @pollen/cli wallet --email you@example.com

Para recognizes the email and recovers the same wallet. You can also visit getpara.com to claim full custody of the wallet.
